Now that I have your attention with the head line. I what to know your opinion & I respect everyone’s opinion. White Black , Brown, Red , Yellow or Green. I really don’t care what color someone is , As long as they are a decent person.

The color of someone’s skin it the last thing that I would base my opinion of someone on.

I grew up in the 1960’s , I remember seeing White & Black bathrooms in gas stations in the south. I have seen the IGNORANCE of bigotry my whole life & I mean black & white bigots ! ! ! Back in the day it was the sole domain of the white man to call anyone of color just about any name they wanted to.  I never thought that was right but it happened all the time. But now it is politically incorrect for any white man to say anything about anyone of color & I’m cool with that.

BUT In today’s world it has done a total 180 degree flip. GOD FORBID a white man say anything the least bit racist & the whole world comes down around his shoulders. BUT no one says a thing when a black man calls another black man a NI&&ER or call a white man a CRACKER. There are tons of black comedians using every racist name in the book & they get big laughs.

It wasn’t right back in the day & it isn’t right today. If you want to hold the white man up & ridicule him for using those names , Do the same to the black man.

Now about the term WHITE POWER. It is used by all the skin heads & KKK freaks. Those guys have ruined it for me to be able to stand up & say I PROUD TO BE WHITE, without everyone calling me a racist. Sure I’m white & I’m proud of it. That doesn’t make me a racist !!!! I’m proud of who I am & my ancestors. I think everyone should be proud of who they are & of their ancestors.

I wish we could get over this race issue & move on to something more important.

 In the words of Rodney King. CAN”T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG

Am I a racist , I don’t think so , I’m just a white guy that has gotten over the whole race issue. I’m  just trying to get through life with out a bunch of ignorant folks screwing things up for all of us. I want to hand my kids a better world where a man is a man , not a Black Man , not a White man . JUST A MAN ! ! ! !

 I’m a Patriot Guard Rider. If you don’t know who we are , GOOGLE it & you will see who we are.

One of my fellow members sent this to me & I was so shocked that I just had to share it here on my blog.

 Obama stumbled over his words  during his inauguration, but he made an even greater blunder later That evening. The newly sworn President decided not to attend at what should have been  the most important Balls on his agenda that evening . The Salute to Heroes Inaugural Ball.
 The Salute to Heroes Inaugural Ball was started in 1953 for President  Eisenhower’s inauguration. The event recognized  the Medal of Honor winners, the nation’s highest military award. There were 48 Medal of Honor winner in attendance, who were disappointed by the Commander-in-Chief’s failure to show up. Over the past  14 inaugurations, no other President has missed this event - until Barack Obama decided to snub the Metal of Honor Ball 
The Salute to Heroes Inaugural Ball is put on by the American Legion, and co-sponsored by many other veteran’s  organizations, 

 Instead of attending this ball honoring our nation’s heroes, Obama was to busy making stops at 10 other official balls. Obama and his wife’s first stop was at the Neighborhood Ball. From there they went to the Home State Ball for Illinois and Hawaii, the Commander-in-Chief Ball, the Youth Inaugural Ball, and the Home State Ball for Delaware and Pennsylvania. Obama finished off the
night with brief appearances at the Mid-Atlantic, Western, Midwest, Eastern, and Southern  Balls.

Celebrities were a plenty at the balls, with Stevie Wonder, Shakira, Mary. J. Blige, Faith Hill, Jay-Z, Alicia Keys, Adam Levine, will.i.am, Sting, Mariah Carey, and Leonardo DiCaprio in attendance at the Neighborhood Ball. In addition, the other nine balls also featured a star-studded lineup including Kanye West and Kid Rock at the Youth Ball, Marc Anthony at the Western Ball, and
Cheryl Crow at the Western Ball.
 
It was the party without all of the celebrities that Barack Obama skipped. The  people who he sought to have support him during his  campaign, who have fought to protect our country, were snubbed in favor of publicity and the opportunity to rub shoulders  with the Hollywood elite.

SHAME ON YOU OBAMA  , SHAME ON YOU

I think it is a bit over the top for the Democrats ,in fact our country to be wasting so much money on all this inauguration garbage. Most Americans are struggling to just pay their bill & trying not to lose their homes. I know there is no way around have to spent some money on the Inauguration, but it is the obscene show of wealth & the over the top parties that are being thrown in Washington. Most of the folks that voted for Obama could only get into those parties if they were cleaning the tables.

I’m just an ordinary kind of guy & I live a very simple life. The way our government waists money just sicken me. I’m not talking a bout the war. It is the TONS on stupid & needless thing that they spend money on.

I hope that Obama get this country straighten out . If the economy keeps going the way it is we will be in a depression soon. Times are tough all over , money is tight & businesses are closing every day. Folks are losing their homes & having to live on the streets. I not talking about lazy jerks that already live on the streets. I’m talking about hard working people that just can’t seam to make ends meet.

Back in the day if you ad a fairly good job , with a decent wage. you could afford a small home to raise your family. I know many folks that are working 2 & 3 jobs & are still only barely getting by.

I’m no expert on the economy or claim to know much about politics or how big business runs. but it seams a few are getting RICH while the rest of us are going down the drain. I wish I had the answers to these question.

What do you think it will take to get us back on track & get the economy fixed?????

PRESIDENT OBAMA

It is almost here , Our new president , Barack Obama. The parties are going strong in Washington , folks a celebrating & the champagne is flowing.

BUT Is this going to be something we look back on and still think this was a good idea???? Every time we get a new president , there is always hope that thing will be better. Just like when George W went into office. But here we sit with a war half finished , the economy in the dumper & folks losing their homes everyday.

 Obama is coming into office with a FULL PLATE. I didn’t vote for him but he is our new president & their isn’t much that I can do except try to support him. There are some things I like about Obama & some things I dis-like.  I just hope that he gets things back on track  & we can get back to some what normal SOON.

 AMERICA ,I really want to hear what YOU have to say about OBAMA. So take a few minutes & write a reply ,

Just about everyone has a garage , attic or basement with a bunch of JUNK & that is what most of it is & will always be , JUST JUNK.  But there are some of us that may have a treasure worth big bucks sitting un-know in a box out in the garage.

I make my living going to garage sales , estate sale , & swap meets. Looking through tons of junk every week. But every once in a while in the bottom of a old box , there will be that valuable collectible item.

It could be old pottery , souvenirs from a long forgotten trip. something grandpa brought back from the war or something grandma has had for years.

I know some of the best things I have found in other people so called JUNK. Have turned out to make me some HARD CASH. Some of the time I get it for pennies. There have been a few time I have been told , “JUST TAKE IT , I JUST WANT IT OUT OF HERE.”

Of course when I bring it home the wife looks at me side ways & says ” WHAT THE HELL IS THAT THING!!!!!” but when it sells on ebay for hundred’s of dollars , she changes her tune.

 I seam to have a knack for knowing what is JUNK & what is a collectible or RARE . I been doing this for almost 10 years. I’m not a millionaire , but I own my own house in California ( with a mortgage ), 3 NICE cars that I paid cash for & most of the time I have enough money to enjoy a family vacation almost every year.  

So go out into that Garage Attic or Basement. Dig through that old junk & if you find something interesting , looking up on ebay.

WHO KNOWS WHAT IT COULD BE WORTH

Gun control is a very touchy subject. There are  many ifs and buts in there that no one can have a perfect yes or no to it. What I think is … guns are like everything in the world that we use. Anything we have can use as a weapon. Education is the key to  gun control. Hide your guns so your kids can’t get them!!! NO WAY .. EDUCATE your children in safe firearm handling and their dangers!!

If a child just sees guns on a tv show or movie.. That is all he is going to think about a gun ..  .. but if you teach them differently, they cannont make an uneducated decision to use a firearm. Children are smarter than people think .. give them a little more credit than “hide it  from them and maybe they will never know.,” RIGHT… they know it all. It’s just like everyhting else, teach them wrong & right and more than likely, they will not make the wrong decision. It’s up to the parent. Take the time with your children to teach them . Parenting = Time .. if you don’t have the time.. don’t produce children. As for gun control on the streets .. we will never control that. Yes, keep your guns locked up in a safe .. that can and will make a  difference .. but a criminal will always get what he wants however he has to do it… It’s like the fight on drugs..  a waste of time and money because no matter how hard we fight it .. people are going to make the decison to buy them however and where ever they can.

But like I said if your going to have a gun in the house. Teach your kids that it is not a toy , take them out to the range & let them shoot it. The more you try to hide it & keep it a big secret or mystery , the more apealing it will be to them if & when they find it.

Go to CRAIGSLIST , click on a city nearest to you & then click on EXOTIC. You will be surprised at how many hookers list them self on the internet. Girls , Men , Straight , Gay , What ever it is you are looking for it is out there & all it takes is $$$$$

BEWARE , Just like dealing with any hooker , use your head , Use a rubber , If it don’t feel right don’t do it. Most of the time there is a phone number to contact them , They don’t just come out & say in the ad what it will cost , but I have seen it say 100 ROSES or 75 HUGS , HUGS & ROSES = DOLLARS. Lots of them have photos , but don’t be surprised if the girl that shows up isn’t the girl in the photo.

PIMPS Her pimp will most likely drive here there & be outside to protect his girl. BE SMART GO TO A MOTEL , Don’t meet them at your house Only bring enough money to get the job done , Leave your jewelry & valuables at home or locked in your car. Get a hide a key magnet & put your car key in it & stick under the fender of your car or hide just the car door key REAL good in your motel room. What ever you decide to do , ALWAYS use your head , Think before you do this. It may effect you for the rest of your life. These are folks that don’t mind breaking the law & you are not a date , you are a customer & maybe their next VICTIM !!!!

Armageddon , the Apocalypse , End of the World

Where I live in California , The TV has been full of shows on the history channel & discovery about the end of the world. Some call it the Apocalypse ,others call it Armageddon. What every you want to call it , most of them give us till Dec 21 2012. That is just over 3 years away. What are you going to do with your last 3 years???

Back not to long ago , If you went around saying the world is coming to an end, most folks thought you were a NUT JOB. But today they give you a prime time TV show. The writings of  Nostradamus & most other profits are so veg that it is hard to tell what they mean. It is only till after something has happened that the nut jobs go in & try to pick some thing out that sound like what had just happened. If Nostradamus would have been such a brilliant guy & could see into the future. Then he would have known to talk a little bit clearer about what was going to happen.

I don’t know what your going to do with your last 3 years , but I’m going to live my life to the fullest , like I always do & on Dec 22 2012 , the day after the so called  end of the world. Then I will just keep on going. I’m sure something will happen sooner opr later. But I’m not going to sit around worrying about it.

WHAT DO YOU THINK ???????

LOVE, RUN , PLAY , HANG OUT with your dog. Don’t leave him tied to a tree in the yard or in a cage most of the time. He/she is a living breathing think , Treat him like a friend & you will have a friend for life. But as a good friend you have to teach him how to act in lots of different situations & what you will & will not accept. Teach him how to behave around other dogs & people.

GROOMING Groom your dog yourself. Bath time or brushing is a great time for you to bond with your dog. Go to the groomer when you have to , but it only takes a few minutes to take care of your dogs grooming need every day or two. Depending on the dog a bath every week or so is a good idea , He may fight with you for a while but once he relaxes he will learn to love it.

WALK YOU DOG Take your dog on a half hour walk everyday. He needs the exercise as much as you do. I don’t mean take in out it the yard so he can do his duty & then go right back in. Walk around the block - Go to the park or Dog Park. Get him out of the house so he can enjoy life. How would you like to be locked in all day & never be taken anywhere??? Take a plactic bag & with you to pick up after your dog when he does his duty at the park or in your neighbos yard. It is the law in most places & is the right thing to do - do ! ! ! While you are out walking he may meet some friend & learn how to act around other dogs. If your single , it is also a great way to meet a friend of your own ! ! !
TRAIN YOUR DOG Start out with the basics SIT & STAY , If you can teach him these tricks. He will be a better dog to have around. Make sure you reward and compliment your pup when he does something right. Give him a treat, Tell him he’s a good dog & pet him on the head. If you like take him to a training classes. They will help you both understand each other & teach you how to correctly give commands that the dog will understand , learn & remember. Training will also give you tips on how to control him and improve his behavior. The most important thing is to be consistant & firm with your dog , BUT not mean. Don’t kick or yell at him. When he is a PUPPY a light tap in the nose or rump is OK , He need to learn you are in charge & he has to make you happy with his behavior

These are just a few tips to help you & your best friend get along better. Remember , Dogs have feeling & YOU are the most important thing in his life. Who else meets you at the door, HAPPY to see you when you come home!!!!!!

How many of us have tried to make extra money on the internet. I have , that is one reason I’m doing this blog , to see if it pans out to make me some extra cash.

I do this all in my spare time , I’m a power Seller on Ebay & I use to spend my spare time playing solitaire. But a friend turned me on to eHow & that got me started.

I have found a few sites that I have made money on &  gotten paid.

 eHow.com I have had the best luck with , I made $275 dollars in my first 5 months  & they do pay on time. I have 116 articles on eHow, & I try to add new a as often as I can. The articles are easy to write, Basic HOW TO stuff. nothing complicated. most articles take me 15 to 20 minutes to write, & I post them & let them run.

globaltestmarket.com just sent me my first $50 check. I have been doing surveys for about 2 months. Once you join , they email surveys to you & most take about 10 to 15 minutes to complete

REVVER.COM is a video posting site. I’m doing pretty good , BUT they are 3 to 4 months behind on making the monthly payments. I’m not going to complain YET. I wait a bit & see if I actually get a payment.

METACAFE.COM is another video posting site. But there rules are pretty struck , you have to get 20,000 hits in 6 months & have your video be rated at least 3 on a 5 star scale. If you don’t meet the set terms , YOU GET NOTHING.

 REVVER & METACAFE lets other video sites use your videos that are posted on their site. BUT with both of them I’m not sure if they keep an accurate hit count. One of my videos on METACAFE has about 4000 hits on the METACAFE hit counter, BUT the same video , is playing on AOL’s video site , through METACAFE. The hit counter on AOL is at 8500. I emailed METACAFE & asked what was going on & they gave me a BS reason why the hit count was higher on AOL.

So I don’t expect to see any money from REVVER or METACATE

I just joined BUKISA.com & I  write on there , don’t have much posted yet. My account says I have earned $3 & some change in about 2 weeks. You have to get up to $50 before they will pay. So I will just have to plug away for a month or 3 & see if there actually pay.

XOMBA.com is another one I just joined , BUT I’m still waiting for a adsense account to be approved. It has been 10 days since I applied to adsense. I hear it can take up to 30 to get approved ????

 I have heard they do pay. but I can’t say they do for sure. The members seam to be excited about it & the admin. at XOMBA.COM have been very helpful & have answered all my question right away.

I just joined TODAY.com BLOG. going to give it a good shot , I will post  a blog or 2 every day & see how it goes.

With any of these YOU ARE NOT GOING TO GET RICH ! ! ! Some are better than others. I spend my spare time on the computer trying to see witch ones actually pay. I give it a month or 2 & if it doesn’t look like I will ever get enough on the account to actually see some cash in my pocket , I just move on to something else. Sure I waist some time doing this , BUT I was just playing solitaire  before. That is a total waist of time. so what do I have to lose.

If you have had luck & got paid on a internet sight LET US ALL KNOW , If you have gotten burned on one of these site . LET US KNOW.
